I got this recipe from my husband's sister, Celeste, and tweaked it over the years. I recently added the strawberry jam. They are to die for!

Time 1h45m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 18

¼ cup warm water
2 tablespoons yeast
¼ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature, cubed
¼ cup white sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup hot water
1 large egg, at room temperature
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon oil, or as needed
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
¼ cup strawberry jam
⅓ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, or to taste
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
¼ cup milk
¼ cup strawberry jam
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup powdered sugar, or more as needed

Steps:

  • Mix warm water and yeast for rolls together in a small bowl until dissolved. Let sit until bubbly, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine butter, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Add hot water and whisk until butter is melted. Allow to cool for a few minutes, then mix in egg. Mix in yeast mixture, followed by 2 cups flour, mixing on high speed with the whisk attachment. Change to the dough hook attachment, add remaining flour, and mix until a nice ball of dough forms.
  • Place dough into an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise until doubled in size, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle.
  • Mix melted butter and jam for filling together in a small bowl. Spread evenly over dough and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. Roll dough and pinch edges to seal. Cut into 12 equal rolls and place on a cookie sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and firm to the touch when pressed gently in the center, about 20 minutes.
  • While the rolls are baking, combine softened butter, milk, jam, and vanilla extract for frosting in a large bowl; beat until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing until smooth. Add frosting with a pastry brush to warm cinnamon rolls.
